Victor Murakhovsky: "During the events in Crimea, the world saw a new quality of the Russian army"About the events of recent weeks, about how the Russian army has changed, we are talking with one of the leading domestic military experts, the chief editor of the information and analytical magazine Arsenal of the Fatherland, Viktor Murakhovsky.

- Viktor Ivanovich, how do you assess the actions of the Russian army in the light of recent events? Do you agree that at present the domestic armed forces are at a much higher quality level than even a year and a half ago?

- I evaluate the actions of the Russian army during the recent events as professionally organized and qualitatively implemented. Without a single shot and the victims completed all the tasks. Moreover, in some cases, only the self-control and professionalism of our servicemen prevented a sharp exacerbation of the situation.

Even in the external "picture" broadcast by the media in the course of recent events, the naked eye can see positive changes in the appearance of the Russian army compared to what the country and the world saw just two or three years ago.

If we talk about the operational-tactical component, then experts note the implementation in practice of some advanced concepts of the network-centric warfare, which until then had been considered the prerogative of only the American army.

- That is, it can be said that those events which we witnessed will be studied in military schools not only in Russia?

- Definitely. Both our allies and our western "partners" (as President Putin calls them) will study the military component of past events very carefully. And for us, this is the first experience of the practical implementation of those techniques and actions that were practiced in the course of classes, exercises, surprise checks of the combat readiness of the troops over the past year and a half.

- Viktor Ivanovich, one of the main heroes of the Crimean events were our Tiger armored vehicles, but the previous leadership did not want to acquire them. The bet was made on "Lynx". If there were Italian armored cars there, then we would now hear that the supply of spare parts for imported equipment was stopped. The same goes for the Centaurs and other cars. That is, Shoigu’s and Rogozin’s bid for domestic cars fully justified themselves.

- After the change in the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the policy on import of weapons and military equipment returned to the mainstream of reality. At the beginning of December 2012, the Expert Council of the Chairman of the Military Industrial Complex under the Government of the Russian Federation, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation D.O. Rogozin was presented a report "Russia as an importer of armaments: challenges and opportunities" (see here sovetvpk.ru/files/1.pdf), in the preparation of which I took part. One of the key findings of the report was: “The import of weapons for the needs of the RF Armed Forces is fraught with significant risks both for the defense of the country and for the functioning of the military-industrial complex. This issue is so important that the current practice of making departmental, often voluntarist, decisions on the import of weapons and military equipment completely outlived. " The leadership of the defense industrial complex and the Defense Ministry generally agreed with the conclusions and proposals formulated in the report, which led to a number of practical decisions on the normalization of imports of weapons and military equipment and the development of domestic production.

- And how do you think the situation with the Mistral UDC will evolve?

- I think that the contract for the supply of two ships by the French side will be completed on time. Probably, the Russian side will refuse the option for two more ships.

- Viktor Ivanovich, judging by what we saw earlier, the proposed concept of light and medium compounds has fully justified itself. Given that the Russian troops in the Crimea did not have a single tank.

- The concept of light, medium, heavy compounds equipped with an appropriate set of military equipment was originally based on military-scientific studies of domestic specialists. The physical and geographical conditions of the region and the operational and tactical features of the measures did not require the use of heavy weapons and military equipment. Units operated on light and medium armored vehicles, military vehicles, with the support of the army aviation. High mobility has largely ensured the successful completion of tasks.

- Viktor Ivanovich, it is probably worth noting that in the near future rearmament of the Russian army will take place, and its capabilities will increase even more?

- The peculiarity of the current State Armaments Program for the period up to 2020 is that the mass re-equipment of the ground component of the general-purpose forces (Ground Forces, Airborne Forces, Marines and Coastal Forces of the Navy) is planned for the period after 2015.

By this time, uniform standardized platforms of a new generation of light, medium and heavy categories, artillery complexes, sets of individual combat equipment, means of automated command and control, etc. should be developed, tested and ready for mass production.

In the interests of mass production of new-generation weapons and military equipment, a large-scale technological modernization of the corresponding defense enterprises is under way. According to the plans, by the end of 2020, modern models of weapons and military equipment should be in the category of armored combat vehicles - 82%, artillery systems - 79%, missile systems of the Ground Forces - 100%, multipurpose vehicles - 72%.

            Why I was puzzled - in the picture AKMS (it is not clear which one, but AKMS) and Vintorez - both are "sharpened" for silent shooting. What for so? Logically, where there is an AKMS "Vintorez" is not needed, and vice versa. AKMS is a senior intelligence officer, and who has Vintorez? The sniper was replaced? Because I asked about the state.

        These are just peaceful demonstrators. In democracies, it is not customary to discuss what protesters are wearing and what they are holding. Peaceful demonstrators politely asked to leave all the Ukrainian military (who wished) from the territory of Crimea. As a result of peaceful protests, this is what happened.

        Ukraine does not cease to amuse.

        Member of the Verkhovna Rada Gritsenko:
        Invisible heroes - they did not wait for orders from Kiev!
        Few people know this story. About real and devoted Ukrainian soldiers.
        25-I separate Dnepropetrovsk airborne brigade. A company of paratroopers of this brigade, numbering 80 people, was at planned exercises in the Crimea. Together with the battalion of marines in Perevalnoye. Even before the start of Russian aggression.
        From the beginning of the war, they stood steadfastly and awaited orders. Did not wait. And then they made their own decision: to break through to the mainland, along with armored vehicles and weapons! The Russians were warned: if they fix obstacles for them, the Dnepropetrovsk paratroopers will join the battle and fight to the last bullet, they will die the death of the brave, but they will not surrender and they will not surrender their weapons to the enemy!
        Result? The company of our paratroopers, in full force, in KAMAZ and armored vehicles, with full-time weapons, has already left the Crimea. Across the peninsula, paratroopers escorted and guaranteed the safety of their access to the mainland ... Russian special forces. The enemy soldiers of our paratroopers heard and decided that it was better not to check their strength of spirit!
        You guys are great! The country should be proud of such soldiers!

        This is just about those that the Ukrainians themselves were not allowed into their homeland, blocking the block of posts.

              But I remember when the second time I joined the army in September 1999 (well, you get it, where), then many of us had the same things. There, the main thing is to keep your hands, any cut, infection, and you have a half working arm and gloves will be made of bandages. By the way - this is nothing, that with city assaults, white bandages on the hands are knitted (which means OWN). It's nice, so many years have passed, and everything is the same (nastalgia is direct)! With respect, I express my humble opinion.

          1) Go to the side of Crimea
          2) Write reports and demobilize
          3) Depart to Ukraine.

        Here is how Ukrainians themselves describe the confrontation on the Arabat Spit:

        At first, our compatriots say, no movements took place here. At the checkpoint there were four border guards and seven people from Energodar. But already on Saturday morning, March 15, six Russian helicopters appeared in the sky above them. They circled, ours say, just above their heads. And near the gas distribution station, the landing of Russian paratroopers began.

        “Then they gave us arms. Although everyone was counting on the fact that armed confrontation still did not happen. Our mission was initially peacekeeping. But the situation was changing so quickly that we, as Afghans with experience, simply had to come to the rescue of our soldiers. We are forced to admit: ours had very low combat readiness. When it became known that Russian armored personnel carriers were coming from the Crimea, they began to establish a firing point - a machine gun. The ensign boys did not even know how to put down this machine gun, how to change stores. We decided to help them. Border guards would have had enough cartridges for literally ten minutes of a real battle, ”- Vladimir Shavyrin and Sergey Volkov saw this picture of what was happening.

        A little later, as they say, Ukrainian paratroopers appeared. Energodar gave them food, fuel, bought with the money raised. They shared fuel with the deputy commander of the border detachment. On what to do, the commanders consulted by phone with Kiev. “And this is completely incomprehensible to us! The border guard is a special caste of troops that must make decisions locally, guided by the situation. And they are forced to coordinate each movement. And instead of staying at the checkpoint, holding a position, showing that there is an army in Ukraine, sending parliamentarians to the Russians, talking, they received an order to urgently withdraw. Both frontier guards and paratroopers curled before our eyes. We, as a buffer zone, were left alone in front of the Russian soldiers. Seven people. Without weapons, ”stated Vladimir Shavyrin.

        The Russians, however, occupied the gas economy, then approached the checkpoint. No one has attempted to storm it, our compatriots say. And, in fact, there was especially no one to storm. By that time there were only Energodars who were lined up on the barrier.

        “The Russians asked:“ Will you shoot? ” - We answered them: “But there is nothing. Unless with fountain pens ... ". Negotiations have begun. It was evident that on the other side there were very trained, experienced guys who had gone through real combat operations. Great weapons, clear coherence. Snipers act instantly. Each of our movements was under constant scrutiny. Unfortunately, we are hopelessly behind the Russian army both in terms of weapons and combat training. Ukraine has long abandoned its army. So we must not allow military action. In this regard, Kiev took the right deterrent position. Now is the time to speak to diplomats. A lean world is always better than war, ”said Sergey Volkov and Vladimir Shavyrin.

        Initially, the energy people planned to stay at the checkpoint for a week. But the movement of Russian and Ukrainian troops changed the situation ...

        During these two days, they say, the district prosecutor, the police chief, and the local priest came to the checkpoint. There were no conflicts, both Russians and Ukrainians behaved with restraint and even politely, realizing that any careless shot could provoke a war. Later, the deputy commander of the Ukrainian border detachment returned behind the Ukrainian flag. Came without a weapon. The Russians did not oppose, they gave the flag without talking. And they themselves offered the Ukrainian border guards to return to the checkpoint. They did not hide - they are only interested in the gas installation. The main thing, according to them, is that there should not be provocations.

      But ... You should not think that the enemy will always behave like the Ukrainian military in the Crimea.
      This is a limited spetsnaz operation, and by no means a battered battle, the scale of at least the army, in the enemy army.
      In no case should you succumb to the "hap-hack". Work in the army and navy is not yet in a crank.

    I will say one thing, all the equipment is from the Rostov region, judging by the numbers. Special forces units of the Southern Federal District are equipped with all the weapons shown in the photo. We are close to Chechnya, you never know. About "vintorez" there is a kind of legend we have. During the Chechen war, an intelligence group came across a detachment of militants. One of the scouts took up a position in a tree and disguised himself, was armed with a "screw cutter". A fight ensued. The result of the battle: the entire group of militants was destroyed, none of the scouts was injured. Most of the militants were destroyed by a sniper who was sitting in a tree, the militants did not notice him.

        Taking a position as a sniper on a tree is quite realizable. Swinging a tree - he's not sitting at the very top, anyway, kg. 70-80 weight, Closely located leaves are not visible in the optics - diffuses. In addition, there is such a thing as "firing behind the underbrush (curtain effect) when you see the enemy, but he does not. The underbrush and branches extinguish the sound of a shot + a flash of the muzzle.
        It is unlikely that in the described situation a sniper climbed a tree, rather went into the flag / rear and from there already worked on the enemy, while they were distracted by the main group.

    According to Breedlove, "the Russian forces, which are relatively close to the Ukrainian border, are distinguished by their high numbers and very, very good training."

    The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also emphasized that if the leadership of the Russian Federation makes such a decision, these forces are “enough to make an unhindered attack to Transnistria”, which “causes NATO’s high concern.” [/ B]

    After the events of 080808, and especially after the WikiLeaks data fell into the hands of the country's leadership, not without the help of Assange, in which our army, according to NATO estimates, was recognized as "very weak and ineffective" (there was a corresponding article), transformations began: Serdyukov was removed from his post, was adopted rearmament plan assigned to Shoigu, test-exercises began, sudden checks, etc.
    Actually, we see the result in Crimea, I’m very happy. I am glad that progress has finally begun in terms of training the civilian population - Putin is reviving the TRP standards again, now it remains to consolidate all this legislatively - for those who did not serve to prohibit holding top and middle posts in the state and introduce electoral qualifications - those who did not serve can vote only after 35 years old and with a family.

    Spetsnaz in its purest form ... There is definitely nothing for the Ukrainian army to catch, only hide in the cockpits or go out to surrender with the banners deployed ... soldier drinks


    With all my dislike for the Maidanyuk, I would not speak like that about the Ukrainian military in general. There are very decent fighters there (see on the YouTube "Lavrov's Seminar in Odessa 2009"). But for the fact that, despite a direct order from the top, there was not a single shot from the Ukrainian military - a separate respect and respect. The Slavs should not shoot at the Slavs, for these purposes there are a lot of other Banderlog.

    Th finger on the descent does, no culture of handling weapons, but he knows how to comment beautifully. even though the pictures would not be laid out


    So he is not a military man. I would have gone through normal training sessions - I wouldn’t have put my finger on the hook. Forgivable to a civilian. By the way, what kind of device is he holding in his hands?

    Because now we need to wait and make adjustments to future plans. A mistake in assessing future events can be very costly.

    I don’t know who and how, but I’m simply bursting with pride for our new army. I understand that this is just the beginning, I understand that there is still a lot ahead, but what comes out of this is worthy of respect! And the world began to respect us!

    When watching videos about the movement of convoys of military equipment from Ukraine, I got the feeling that I was in 1995 (I served at that time), the same broken-down 66s with torn awnings, soldiers in "glass" who are capable of anything, smoking armored personnel carriers... . horror. And our columns going through the Rostov region, equipped soldiers - BEAUTIFUL! There comes an understanding of what a huge job has been done, and pride in our military personnel.

      There is no need to get excited, colleague, almost every day I see “our military units” consisting of one and a half divisions - nothing like it, alas! In Crimea, according to rumors, there were remnants of the brigade from Tolyatti, plus a few airborne forces. In general, I think that there were Alpha people. "So staaa, dear Russians" (c)

    Another confirmation of the professionalism and availability of training and the ability of our commanders and soldiers to act intelligently. Well, why did they need to start a massacre (and that would have been a massacre, since it was easy to create an advantage and bring up heavy weapons)? So that everyone would be upset by the appearance of another “heavenly” hundred and the Russian intimidation of Ukrainian army soldiers and their mothers? They worked perfectly! That Russia is rusty iron! They respected the boys who needed fame and completed the task meticulously! This is an ARMY! With your mind, not unnecessary blood! Glory!
